Something didn’t feel right about their dynamic in WOTS and I hate that my suspicions were confirmed like this. :/

Generally, I liked their interactions. I mean, for the nay sayers, you just had to tell them ‘change Chandra to a guy and you can see it’... Though, the way they led into the ‘i love you’ moment mixing in the familial love discussion with the rest of it made it wonky... But even accounting for that, it could have gone that way instead, but that’s not what happened...

Instead, we got this.

My brain somehow decided that Nicky B plucked the location of Jace’s house and decided to fuck it up just to be an asshole and I can’t be bothered to care about what Weisman says is canon because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

oh that’s absolutely something nick balls would do, im just being nitpicky abt the fact that jaces house is not in the chamber of the guildpact

You’ve established Bucky being Jewish as canon to the point where, if depicted otherwise, I can’t help but go “??? But he’s Jewish, sooo…???”

i have heard this from a few people now and every time i am deeply touched and proud this is #mylegacy

Why did (do?) the Magivians film you with rage?

Don’t quote me on this because I don’t watch the show or care about it, but iirc it’s Margo (or her actress) who is the WOC. I’m not sure if Kady or her actress is white or white passing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah I mean, you’re as likely to be right as I am there, if not more. I had to hunt to remember the name Kady at all, and I’m PRETTY sure she was the one with the hedge witch plot, but maybe she wasn’t the WoC in the main cast and it was Margo? Margo was...Elliott’s friend, right? And he was the gay guy I was talking about? Wait why am I asking you, you just said you don’t watch the show or care about it lol okay I’m just talking to myself from here on out. Like that’s ever stopped me. Hmm okay, honestly Penny and Julia are the only ones I remember clearly and am sure of. Like, I remember that the main blond guy’s name was Quentin but very little else about him because he’d come on screen and I’d sigh aggressively like dude I don’t care about you at all, I recognize that you’re trying fairly hard to get me to but I just don’t, there’s no spark, I’m sorry its not me its you nah its probably you tbh. Wait I already said that.

I mean, I know there was that blond girl, but I can’t for the life of me remember what the fuck her name was? I just remember that she and Quentin were love interests and then something happened halfway through the season where he had a threesome with Elliott and Margo I guess it was? And then I was ticked off for the rest of the season because the threesome was literally only ever brought up again to cause drama between Quentin and the blond girl and it felt gross and exploitative because at that point Quentin was like....he’d self identified as straight at least once early on, which is why we knew the threesome with another guy was supposed to be out of the ordinary for him except it was only treated as out of the ordinary BY Quentin in the context of like ‘oh but I didn’t mean to cheat on umm fuck why can’t I remember her name uggggh this is gonna bug me.’ 

But yeah anyway my point is it pissed me off the entire rest of the season that nobody ever brought up like.....soooooo do you have any kind of reaction, response, thoughts, feelings, ANYTHING about the fact that you slept with a guy and by all previous accounts that’s definitely not a usual Friday night for you and thus SOME kind of reaction to like....one’s first or likely first same-gender sexual encounter...would usually be at least expected to be touched on? Even if just a little bit? But noooooope. So I distinctly remember already being annoyed by that when that season’s Bury Your Gays happened with Elliott and his new LI just a couple episodes later...esp when that STILL didn’t prompt any kind of actual dialogue between Quentin and Elliott or even Margo about oh yeah, so about that thing that happened that actually does or should have significance to me beyond just omg we were on a break no we weren’t yes we were ugh SHUT UP Ross. Wait where did that come from. Ugh I should probably like, sleep soon.

Anyway, I know Quentin ended up bi and in an actual relationship of sorts with Elliott later? Or at least that’s what I heard? So apparently, that did at least get revisited and explored after I dropped the show, but whatevs, I’m still pissed. It shouldn’t be too much to ask that if you have an otherwise straight-identifying character cheat on his girlfriend with a guy for the sake of boyfriend/girlfriend relationship drama halfway into a season, like.....you can’t find ANY room anywhere in the back half of that season to have that guy at least spend ONE scene acknowledging that this has implications for him beyond just the cheating and even if he can’t unpack it all right now like, at least code into his storyline some indication before the end of the season that it WILL eventually get revisited and won’t just be totally swept under the rug? Because there was nooooone of that.

Oh and also I remember that after he cheated and had that threesome, the blond girlfriend slept with Penny specifically to get back at Quentin and make him jealous...like I think she even said something along the lines of now we’re even to him? Because I def remember my eyes narrowing into slits and being like oh hahaha okay, so you’re just going to use that other dude you’ve spoken maybe five other lines to all season JUST to fuck with your boyfriend or notevenboyfriendanymore and like, who gives a fuck that Penny’s like...actually into it right? Cool cool, that’s fun.

OH! NOW I REMEMBER! Okay, so I don’t know if Kady’s actress is a WoC or white-passing or white, tbh I’m having trouble picturing most of the characters right now, like visually, and I don’t think I ever recognized that actress from anything else. But I FEEL like, and maybe I’m misremembering still, but I feel like the confusion there was because Kady’s mom was one of the hedge witches and I think she was definitely a WoC, Latina I wanna say? And I almost feel like I vaguely recall posts talking about the fact that they cast a WoC to play her mother but Kady’s actress was white or at least of a different background than the actress playing her mom, and there was a whole thing there, kinda like with what happened on TW when they cast a Latina actress to play Malia’s bio-mom, but just in reverse here? Oooooooooor its possible I’m totally pulling that out of my ass and inventing it wholesale from like....misassumptions and random stuff from elsewhere in the series. 

But I remember that Kady’s mom was like....brutally killed off halfway through S1 and Kady didn’t even know about it for awhile, and I feel like I remember that as some of the racist crap they pulled that season because the mom was a WoC, and that all got intertwined with how Kady’s storyline was all about her being exploited by people using her mom as leverage and then her mom was unceremoniously killed off and nothing changed for Kady or her situation because like, nobody even knew or acknowledged it? Idk. I need to not try so hard to remember that season because everything that comes back to me just pisses me off hahahaha I forgot it all for a reason clearly ugggggh its just the worst. That show, man. I hate it so much lol. That writer’s room was like HOW CAN WE DOUBLE DOWN ON BEING AWFUL THIS WEEK!?!? I mean. That’s like....just my opinion and stuff!?!?!? LOL.

someothermonstra replied to your post “As someone who’s pan, been sexually assaulted and abused half my life...”

Like it's not impossible to depict pansexuality in a comedy in a way that doesn't hinge on sexual assault or punch down. "Sexual assault isn't supposed to be funny" is, like, the bare minimum. "LGBT folks aren't predatory" is another. "Don't make unfunny jokes about csa" is another, off topic, bare minimum thing to ask for.

it’s so frustrating and like, im only saying anything because i care about how pansexuality is depicted! i care about bi/pan people being depicted as groping lecherous creeps. and it happens all the time! it’s always the bi/pan/fluid character who ignores boundaries and makes people uncomfortable and it’s always played like “lol that’s just how those people are”. it breaks my heart because we aren’t like that! most of the bi and pan people i know are the most respectful people when it comes sexual boundaries and consent. so many of us have been victims of this type of behavior because people think our sexuality means we’re available to them, and to see people laud portrayals that depict us that way? like it just hurts and hurts even more when its coming from our own people. we should all want better for ourselves.

someothermonstra replied to your post: someothermonstra replied to your post: ...

I genuinely like their dynamic (Nissa isn’t a fave of mine, but I figured that I just needed to find a way to connect with her), but I love Chandra and their relationship was one that I was eager to see unfold, but… WOTS was painful on several levels and smth about the framing of C/N’s relationship near the end left me cold. Clumsy and ambiguous in a way that felt dishonest.

I think for me, part of it was that I was happy to finally have it. For it to be canon. And then there was the quality of the book. I’ve read a ton of bad Ranma 1/2 and Sailor Moon fanfic over the years, so my scale of good to bad is a bit skewed. A great book is still incredible, but a bad one still gets a bit off the hook for me as long as there is something to keep me going and happy. There was in WAR.

But I never quite trusted they would keep it. I suspected that, since it was just an ‘i love you’ at the end with a ‘we’ll talk later’ wrap up, if they wanted to back peddle they could.

And they did.

They did horribly. I feared they would, but this is beyond the pale for me.

It's why I try to only talk shit about stuff I enjoy (if it's my place to speak). P:

yeah this is what i’ve come to, as well, & rly trying to adhere to. i think it’s a good and healthy strategy for an enjoyable fandom experience. why waste energy on things we hate, that we cannot influence to change, and we can never influence other ppl’s opinions on anyway

someothermonstra said: It could be a preemptive attempt to stop those biphobes who like to pretend that being in a m/f relationship protects you from prejudice against your sexuality. I have felt that urge before, just to stop any argument that people might form. :/ i can definitely see that being true because twitter is full of precisely that kind of asshole on the other hand, i know bisexual women in relationships with men can sometimes feel like when they're confronted with bias against their bisexuality that since it's "not as bad" as it would be if they were with another woman then it's not important to call it out.

I honestly just have a fake personality to cope (soft baby voice, smile a lot, act shy) around people/family/in-laws I don't know but I feel like everyone knows that I'm fake as hell and think I'm an unfriendly bitch. :/

I legit just saw this, but this is how I try to do it, but I feel like my just like aura of ‘I AM INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE’ gives off the ‘be uncomfortable’ and ‘I am a bitch’ vibe.

LOL and the funny thing is it was just yesterday that I had the thought “huh, you know, I’ve been making ‘controversial’ Teen Wolf posts again for almost five whole days and haven’t gotten a single asshole anon yet. This is weird. Nice weird, but still.’

Not even lying, my first reaction to getting that just now was “LOL theeeeeere it is.”

I’ve had a few grey and silver hairs since I was… 20, I think? Maybe later than that idk. It’s weird (the texture is so different from the rest of my hair!!) but other than the occasional hairs, it’s business as usual?

i’m hoping it’s the start of a very slow process... i have come to really like my natural hair color after years and years and years of covering it up and dyeing it... like once i’m in my 40s/50s and i start to go gray i think i’ll be okay but 26???? FUcking Too Soon

i have my dad’s hair which has stayed a good color for a long time and it’s still basically salt and peppery so i have hope but i gotta really increase my protein/vitamin a/etc intake to keep it
